A new iPhone case, sold with or without crystals, is available exclusively to official Sailor Moon Fan Club members

A new item is now available for pre-order from the Official Sailor Moon Fan Club. If you’re not already a Fan Club member, you’re pretty much out of luck as the period to sign up has long since passed. The latest item is a cell phone case for Apple iPhones featuring an image of Princess Serenity by Naoko Takeuchi which was made for the Sailor Moon Exhibit. It comes in a somewhat affordable “Normal Version”, only $20.99 US, or a “Crystal Version” which is a significantly less affordable $140.99 US. Preorders can be done until January 27th and the item will be released in March.

What kind of gems account for this difference in price? Any actual precious stones would likely drive up the price much more than $100. These are Swarovski crystals which are basically cut glass. Actually that’s not completely accurate. These are lead glass which is a kind of glass that has a high refractive index which basically means it’s more shiny than normal glass! The case is available for iPhones only and at that it’s only for 6, 6s and 7 models. I’m out of luck to get one to fit my iPhone 6+ but maybe I’ll just buy another Sailor Moon case and stick some rhinestones on it.

While we’re on the topic of Sailor Moon, have any of you heard of the YouTube channel Calluna Reviews? She does these different reviews of various kinds of media, and she has this passion project going on where she examines Sailor Moon and its various media properties. She just released a couple of vids today about the second season of the original anime. Just thought I’d mention her work, because she’s done some really great videos on the subject of Sailor Moon, even though she only gets them out once a year if we’re lucky.
